What innovative and effective strategies can be implemented in teaching research methodology to undergraduate and postgraduate students in order to improve their research skills and produce high-quality research outcomes?
Hello! In my short experience as a professor, I have been able to realize two things. The first is that students no longer expect to learn as before in a vertical and hierarchical way with a teacher who tries to impose ideas on them, let alone do so rigidly. What I have been able to notice is that today's students want dynamic and participatory classes where they can apprehend the subject for themselves, exploring and experimenting with concrete cases and applied to their fields of future performance. On the other hand, one important thing for those of us who teach methodology is to be aware that students can learn in different ways, some understand better in a logical-mathematical way and others in a comprehensive-interpretative way. This implies a challenge of empathy and of adapting the explanations to their questions or doubts, since it is not that they do not understand the subject, but rather that our explanations are not reaching the threshold with which they manage to make sense of it. Finally, recommend didactic teaching strategies such as project-based learning, problems or cases, as well as the puzzle strategy, among others. All the best!!
